Outdated but cozy. Slow service, but no mistakes done with orders. My only complaint is quality of meat. We used to go there for filet mignion and bottle of red wine. and cheesecake. They don’t serve same cheesecake anymore. Worse. Unfortunately, quality of meat changed for the worse too. It is not the same like it used to be. We went few times after, giving another chance, but poor meat quality did not improve. That’s why we stopped dining there.

This place is super dated, but a throwback to the old steakhouses. We will definitely be back for the cream of chicken soup and the shrimp Dejohne was cooked perfectly. I liked my blackened chicken fettuccine. It was a bit spicy, but great flavor if you like it spicy I ordered it because I like it spicy! Generous portions which are hard to find. We will definitely be back!

Arrived at 6:30 for our reservations for four and we were greeted by a very friendly woman and promptly seated. From the moment we walked in, until the moment we left, everything from food to service was 5 stars! Kim, our server, was most attentive and kind! Very knowledgeable of the menu. Helpful with my hard of hearing 90 year old mother.The meals were outstanding!! Fresh warm bread and cocktails were served immediately. Amaretto sour and wine selection were generous. The chicken Patricia and blackened chicken fettuccine (eating the leftovers as I write this review) were incredible. Portions are generous. But the beef stroganoff was out of this world!! (This from the pickiest person I've ever known)Ten Stars for the chef!!! We haven't been anywhere in years where the food & service were this satisfying! The food is all freshly made, fine dining in a supper club atmosphere.We found this restaurant last year by chance. Stopped in a half hour before closing then, and were treated as if they were open all night..no rush at all. So welcoming. So happy we chose to dine in again. We will return soon. We live quite a ways away, but worth the drive. Best restaurant in a 50 mile radius!Parking: Handicap spots are right up front and plenty available.Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely accessible, from entrance to dining to the restroom. Ramp & railing available for entrance.

It's very unfortunate that the service here has gone down hill. The food has always been great. However, waiting for 30+ minutes for someone to take your drink order is absurd. Today was the second time this happened, forcing our family to walk out. I don't know if they are short staff or just busy, but nevertheless, it is disrespectful. There was a couple that had been waiting the same time, and they had only taken their drink order, never came back for the food order. Will be taking a break from this place, and hope things improve in the future.

On time for our 6:30 reservations, seated right away. Served hard bread quickly, frozen butter, silverware arrived at 7, when we got our own menu's, Soup & salads came about 7:50. My French onion soup had no cheese, and the submerged bread was hard even after being submerged? First wave of food came around 8:13, second wave of food came at 8:17, the rest of us got our food at 8:20. 1 or 2 Flys bothering us. Never received the slightest apology when we complained, just the usual excuse that they are understaffed which is the managers problem for continuing to seat more tables. Asked to speak with the manager but they never showed up. Finally got out of there at 9:00.

The food was extremely bland and the "fresh veggies" were mushy canned green beans. I guess since I was by myself, no one really came by that much to get dirty plates out of the way or even to take my payment for the bill. I had to flag a random server down just so they could get my server. At least the place was

I'm sorry but I've had dinner here a couple times now and it's been nothing more than mediocre at best. Items are generally pretty bland and underwhelming for the prices. I get the tough economy right now, but would rather see less popular items be cut in order to invest in better quality of items & how they're prepared. The servers are doing their best but they're either understaffed or servers think bigger tables means bigger tips and the smaller tables get bypassed with delayed refills, timing on bringing our orders or just bringing the wrong item. I hope to see some changes soon.
